Big-frame righty with recent multi-inning relief value for Oakland
In the 2026 season, Jaxson Easterlin has been a swing arm for Oakland, working 26 appearances and showing he can handle meaningful late-inning and multi-inning relief work, including a 2.2-inning scoreless outing against Michigan State and a two-inning closing stint against Akron with three strikeouts. The 6-foot-5 righty gives Oakland a power-pitcher look and matchup flexibility, and the best version of him has been able to miss bats while staying composed in leverage spots. He looks like a useful fit if your team wants length, size, and a pitcher who can eat outs without flashing.
